Scenario Sunday: Walgreens scenarios for the week of 12/28

December 27, 2008 by
It will be hard to get anything for low OOP this week at Walgreens unless you already have RR to roll into a deal or have a gift card with a balance.

If you want low OOP, the easiest thing to start with is the Gillette Fusion razor:

$8.99, earns $3 RR
Use $4 Fusion coupon from 11/30 P&G or 12/28 P&G
Spend $4.99 (I will use a $5 RR from the Claritin deal this week and add a small filler), earn $3 RR

Then, I will do the Johnson deal:
Buy $10 or more, Get $3 RR
Desitin Ointment, Johnson’s Baby Oil, Shampoo or Powder – 2/ $6
Johnson’s Baby Wash or Lotion – $5
Care Bear Wipes – $5
Walgreen’s Pediatric Electrolyte solution – $3

I will buy 2 Johnsons shampoo products and a Johnsons lotion – $11
I will use the $3/3 Johnsons printable
I will use my $3 RR from the Gillette deal
Spend $5, earn $3 RR

The Robitussin deal isn’t a bad one if you need cough syrup. You will spend a little bit up front if you don’t have any RR or a gift card balance, but you also get a $10 RR back:

Buy $20, Get $10 RR – Buy $10, Get $5 RR
Robitussin or Dimetapp – $4

Buy 5 Robitussin/Dimetapp
Use 5 $2 Robitussin/Dimetapp printables
Spend $10, get $10 (or spend less if you have RR to roll into the deal)

Chex mix is .99. There is a $1 off Chex mix printable here, so it will be free. There are also .60/1 printable coupons on Bettycrocker.com.

If you haven’t done it already, today is the last day to take advantage of the Energizer deal with the sale prices. In case you missed it last week, it is still on sale for $7.99 (through 12/27). If you have a $5 RR and use the $1 coupon, you only pay $1.99 OOP (well, a little more because you will have to have a filler to use both coupons).
